Christies 6P Laser Wins Bejings BIRTV Award

Christie , the industry-preferred brand in the digital cinema projection market, is proud to announce that it is the recipient of the prestigious BIRTV Award for the Christie 6-Primary (6P) laser projection system at the 2015 Beijing International Radio, TV & Film Equipment Exhibition (BIRTV).

The BIRTV awards program, sponsored by the BIRTV committee and the Advanced Television Engineering Magazine, is among the most prestigious awards to be given out in the digital cinema industry. Winners are selected by a panel of industry experts according to rigorous and objective standards. The judging panel praised Christie's laser projection technology as a groundbreaking achievement that results in a superior 3D cinema experience for all movie-goers.

Anchored by the Christie Freedom laser illumination system, the Christie CP42LH 6P laser projector can produce brightness levels up to 60,000 lumens and a color gamut that exceeds the DCI P3 color and replicates the Rec. 2020 space, making it the most advanced RGB laser cinema projection system on the market. Utilizing a scalable laser light source with a choice of projection heads and a fiber cable that connects the laser light source with the projection head, the complete laser projection system is engineered to produce high brightness levels and exceptional color utilizing a high bit depth 4K resolution imaging engine. This results in vastly improved 3D light levels, image uniformity, viewing comfort, and an enhanced sense of immersion.
